@Misamisa can you explain this crisis?
Misamisa · 36-40, F
Basically I have my life super planed out since I was 14. I'm now 31 and have accomplished Everything pretty close to my ideal. But I have changed...I think. I'm not sure I want the same things anymore...it's very confusing.
Have you been confused about what you want?

@Misamisa very often, yet why not change, make new plans? Have you narrowed it down to and either or? Or is it a jumbled pile of possibilities and the trouble right now is sorting them?
Misamisa · 36-40, F
Yes, there are several possibilities and all include stepping out of my comfort zone. And I'm kind of emotionally exhausted and lack motivation to take a step in either direction.

@Misamisa I understand that, yet in a area of complacency your will can atrophy, it's possible that stepping out and getting your blood pumping, adrenaline in your veins....maybe your comfort zone has become like a cage, and attempting emancipation has become too much of a chore.

And you yourself admit that after 17 years you think about changing and to an extent you want to....so time isn't too big a factor, this is YOUR life, there's no reason you can't wait. Take a break, get some room to breathe...then once you get some motivation you can continue on whatever path you choose.
